D: I liked Gravity Ptera. At least it looks a little more aerodynamic than Gilvader (which I also like but in Gil Dragon colors and silly horns).  |

I read this the other day! It reminded me of the Gravity Ptera I used to own. I didn't like him then, but thinking back, he was actually pretty cool.

Gravity Ptera deserves more love, as do Gildragon colors. I have Aesthetic Objections to the new horns that I will someday articulate properly with weird diagrams, but I am so tired of the hate on the colors. BLUE, MAN. CLEAR BLUE AND PEARL!! Plus Gravity Ptera's missiles can be placed to make it look like a Fembot :D. And Gravity Saix is miles better with just a little bit of very simple panel lining love:   ...cripes, I need to take better pics of that. It was one of my early attempts, too. |

I think gravityptera could just use a new torso. Swap that torso out and you have the most realistic pterosaur zoid aside from bio ptera

The Gravity Zoids kinda...underwhelmed me at first, but looking at them now I can appreciate their aesthetic appeal a little more - particularly Bike Wolf, which really has a clever design. I think my main gripe with the line is the big clunky weapons with their huge, unwieldy projectiles...I know they have to be that way because of safety issues, but that doesn't stop them looking bizarre.
I have to admit I'm not terribly fond of Gravity Ptera myself, though I'm not really sure why - it has a lot of positive design elements, and I really like the way its head and neck look, but something about it just bothers me. I dislike the size of its wings, which look too small, but thinking about it the wings of other ptera-Zoids are probably unrealistically small too. (Also, they're ROBOT ANIMALS, so realism is kind of a moot point.)
I've always wanted to revamp Gravity Saurer's limbs and tail, but I've never gotten around to it. He's a cute little guy regardless.
I actually prefer Gildy's colorscheme to Gilvy's. :3

The thing is, the more pterosaurs I see drawn after the 1980s, the more I marvel at how tiny their wings are. Most of them now see, to have GIGANTIC HEADS and fairly -long- but -thin- wings, and then miniscule everything else
